Which in French means
"The Bed"
We have a 3/4 iron bed
in our spare room.
We did not realize it at the time
as our antique friend told us it was a twin.
She was wrong.
We still added a twin mattress.
If we wanted a 3/4 bed mattress,
we would need to purchase a queen,
and then they would cut it down.
Not something we want to do right now....
but we have had this bed for 8 years now. LOL
Yeah you can see my horse in this pic.
It is a dapple gray.
This view is looking into the bedroom
from our hall.
I so love my overshot reversible coverlet.
Looking at the shelf and closet.
Bob took apart our bi-fold door closet.
He added the shelves and small cupboard
at the bottom on the left and hung one
of the antique salvaged doors
from a 100 year old house
they were going to tear down.
We have 5 doors that were saved.
The frame around the door was pine and
another architectural piece for the top we found.
This is where I want to hang the quilt piece.
I have this little pine table
which holds a water pitcher and basin.
Underneath that is a thunderpot.
Or a chamber pot.
For those who do not know what this is.
It was the indoor toilet.
We will re-visit this room as I transform
it a bit for 4th of July.
I worked our gift shop yesterday,
and again sales were awesome!
So glad folks are supporting small business.
Back at it today.
Le Lit Blessings To All!

The bear claw quilt piece over the bed,
is just there temporarily.
I use to hang a picture
of my maternal great grandpa's sister
Theresa there....unfortunately
I broke the original glass. UGH.
Hopefully soon the small business glass
place will re-open.

ReplyDeleteI meant Luck..I should prove read before I click. sorry. Susie
ReplyDeleteLol no problem I understood. Janice
DeleteNice guest room. We once had a 3/4 bed also. 'Not easy to find affordable mattresses for sure. Looking forward to seeing your 4th of July decor. Glad your business is doing well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Danice. That’s why we don’t buy these beds anymore for our store. Janice
DeleteLovely looks great why wouldn't you have them cut down a double mattress?
ReplyDeleteCathy
Cannot do a double because of the length of it. Sucks though cause I thought at first we could use a double to. Janice
DeleteLove the coverlet!
ReplyDeleteI have a 3/4 rope bed that DSO modified so that I could use a full size mattress. It worked out perfectly.
I wish Bob could modify but alas he does not. Janice
DeleteThis is a wonderful and most inviting room. I'm amazed you can't order a 3/4 mattress. I would be doing the same thing, but it's a shame you can't max it out!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeanie! Yes a shame about the mattress. Janice
DeleteBonsoir Janice! Wonderful room! I absolutely love that coverlet as well...looks like it is in amazing condition. I also really like the "picture" above the cabinet next to the bed...looks to be old pattern pieces that have been framed?? Hope the week ahead is a good one for you.... ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteThat picture is pattern pieces for a dress from 1891. Great eye! I love how it is made from heavy paper and not tissue paper like patterns are made from now. Janice
DeleteYour spare bedroom looks amazing. I hope that you can find a solution for a mattress that fits the 3/4 bed. I love the coverlet.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Julia
Thank you Julia! Some day we will get the right mattress. Janice
DeleteI love this room!!!! The quilt is stunning!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Leslie! Janice
DeleteI have a walnut 3/4 bed with a full size box spring Dad somehow modified to fit, but don't have a mattress for it. I'm debating between getting proper size box spring & mattress made or get a full size mattress and make do with the seen-better-days box spring. It's even getting hard to find a full size mattress these days!
ReplyDeleteLove the coverlet on your bed!
Good luck with yours too. Janice
DeleteI love the bed and coverlet. And, the entire room!
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch! Janice
ReplyDeleteI really like this room. All the blue and antiques - so welcoming!
